Methods: In 2017, we implemented a prospective CDE registry among centers participating in a quality improvement collaborative in Latin America (Proyecto EVAT), with CDE defined as unplanned transfer to a higher level-of-care, use of ICU-level interventions on the floor, or non-palliative floor death. This study analyzes registry data between April 2017 and December 2022. CDEs mortality was defined as death occurring during ICU admission or within 24 hours of ICU discharge or end of ward-based ICU interventions. All CDEs with a mortality outcome (yes/no) were included in analysis. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Chi-square tests were used to identify potential risk factors for CDE mortality.
Results: Among 69 centers in 18 countries, 4,142 CDEs were reported in PHO patients (range 3-405/center) with an event mortality of 26%(1,095 events, range 0-43%/center); 368 (33.6% of deaths) occurred within 24 hours …
